The
Book of Trades.
Warne's
Picture Puzzle Toy Books.
London, F.
Warne & co. [ca.1870]. Ff. [10] 26.2 x 22.5 cm. Directions
on "How to use this picture-book" are given on the first
leaf, which is pasted to the front cover. Key pages contain the
objects, figures and parts of figures, belonging to the blanks
left in the picture book. The objects, etc. are all numbered according
to the pages to which they belong. They must be cut out neatly
and stuck in the blanks which they fit. The blanks might also
be coloured by the child. The six plates when completed represent
the trades of a carpenter, builder, miller, watchmaker, coachbuilder,
and ship-owner. This is the seventh in a series of eight with
plates printed in colour by Kronheim.
